Rep. Scott will be joined by special guest, Dr. Acquionette Bryant. Rep. Scott and Dr. Bryant seek to educate the public on how to address an uncooperative health care provider. Participants will be able to ask questions and gain tools to help combat potential health disparities experienced by people of color.
“For years, we have gone to the doctor, but they brush us off or have no interest in what we tell them,” said Rep. Scott. “Our inquiries are met with short responses, and our questions remain unanswered. Our health is not a priority to some providers, which can leave us in pain without solutions. In some cases, patients have died as a result of systemic racism in health care.”
